Is Robert "Hoot" Gibson, the Shuttle Astronaut, still a pilot for SWA? Is he a Capt or FO? Did he get hired as a Capt because of his background? Was he typed in the 737 when hired?

That is correct. I remember seeing an interview that Hoot did with Dan Rather shortly after he was hired at SWA. Dan asked him why with his experience he wasn't a Capt. Hoot replied that airline flying is different than flying for NASA and he needs to learn airline flying.Hoot is a class act.
